Everything about this is poo poo. The Lib Dems are quoting the local elections from this year and then the reply tweeter is quoting the 2017 general election, which is stupid because Labour still beat the Lib Dems in 2019, just by a lower margin.

I think dinosaur sex chromosomes are the same as for birds, so ZZ and ZW instead of XX and XY

can't expect a terf to know that though

Why are members of the government even legally allowed to carry out government business through an instant messaging app, surely there's a national security issue there as well as general compliance.

If I was to discuss commercial aspects of my work on WhatsApp I could potentially get fired for gross misconduct.

Yup, Lorraine took the the stance that trans men are men, trans women are women, this is the exact same poo poo that happened to gay people for a new crowd of bigots, and you can't call yourself 'canceled' if you keep getting all these extra podiums (podia?)

Yeah I went on the FT yesterday - as often stated in the thread, they need to be non-delusional about how the economy actually works to some extent, but that doesn't stop them posting anti-trans "opinion" pieces :sigh: - this one defending Stock, won't link here, spoilered for transphobic paraphrasery:

The usual bilge of "academic freedom" and "debate", combined with fake-balance of talking to students - notably the author couldn't find a single student who was pro-Stock, so went with "well these student seeeeeeeem to be sincere that they feel unsafe, buuuuuut..."

Also a Cambridge professor dude saying "Speech is not a kind of violence; it’s a substitute for violence" which is so naive and simplistic it must be fake. Right...?

And she brings up the fact that Stock is essentially the "I am being silenced!!" guy, but handwaves it away because Stock "didn't want that"...


On the plus side, whenever I see the Indy pop up on Apple News, it seems to be quite pro-trans. Including reporting the Lorraine Kelly interview you mention in a celebratory way.

I thought the Lorraine interview was as soft and gentle as it could be. Yes, Lorraine called out Stock for not being cancelled (gently) etc but she was still platforming Stock and legitimising her opinions while repeating "why can't we all just sit down and discuss these things???" as though they are discussing where to go for dinner.

she got out of paying tax a few years back by arguing that "Lorraine Kelly" is in fact a stage persona invented and portrayed by her entirely separate legal person Lorraine Kelly; handily proving that the only real difference between the legal arguments of freeman on the land and wealthy tax evaders is the price of their legal advice

Part of her argument was also - if memory serves - that her 'terribly nice to everyone' persona was obviously fake because no-one is like that in real life.

Yay I have Covid. Looking forward to ten days by myself in the flat! That's what you get for working a job that mandates three days a week in the office with a constantly revolving roster of people in or out because they've had a positive result.

Tested positive on a random PCR on Saturday, but still negative on the lateral flow tests today. Here's hoping to an asymptomatic recovery!

this ability is called "perfect pitch", and it's pretty rare even among musicians. i don't have it too, tbh - i just loaded up an online piano to double-check the melody and only then realised that the first note is an A :v:

My music teacher at school had absolute pitch. You could walk into a room and kick the radiator in different spots and he could instantly name which note was ringing out. I once tested him with a tuner and went around the room hitting random things. That man had an amazing ear but good lord did he play the most dull music.
